🎉 Long Ago app now in the App Store!

It’s very sad to hear #pocket is going offline.
It was my favorite app for a very long time and my first big sideproject was to automate delivering your articles as magazines to Kindles!
During college that was one of the big places I always wanted to work at.

I found a purpose for it. I love how it looks!

Sometimes I just do #SwiftUI components because I like the challenge without any clear purpose.

Here’s a marquee that also supports manual scrolling. That last part in particular was tricky than I expected given that for some reason `.scrollPosition` does not report user scrolls.

Next release of LongAgo has a long requested feature: categories!

Wasn’t in my reléase plan yet but might as well.

Also positive and negative goals, new editor controls, grouped history by date, faster sync times, undo, and a lot more

Here you go!
Accessibility wise I need to revisit VoiceOver though since it needs some tweaks

Here it is integrated into the Editor of @[email protected]

Had to make some adjustments but I like it! I also added an extra: you can long press on the unit to quickly switch to any other!

Plus it supports typing and dynamic scaling!

Just added unit selection to my step control after realizing I needed a new unit selection to match in LongAgo

Iterated through a lot of versions until I found something I liked.

I'm really liking this github like control I made in #swiftUI for Long Ago

I made it all configurable so that the icon sizing can be changed but it can also adapt to the available space, unless you constrain it to a minimum set of rows and/or cols.

Super fun to build!

Putting the numeric input altogether into my testing app (aka unreleased pomodoro app that will never get finished)

On to Long Ago now!

It’s been a while since I had the chance to do Swift but I’ve been toying around with an idea for numeric inputs I had for Long Ago.
